Big Job - Bigger Opportunity- Lasting Legacy

Here at the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), we believe a financially healthy nation is essential for individuals, communities, businesses and the economy. As the largest single funder of free debt advice in England we helped almost 1.3 million people with debt advice, money guidance and pension guidance in the 2019/20. Were looking for people who have the right skills, knowledge and behaviours for the job, but equally as important is a strong commitment to our culture, values and vision.

This role takes a lead in developing the MaPS Corporate Strategy, driving our agenda for change and increasing financial wellbeing across the UK. The Corporate Strategy defines our role in improving and expanding the whole UK Financial Wellbeing ecosystem, realising our vision of everyone choosing the right financial decisions for them, and making the most of their money and pensions.

You will define the approach for our portfolio of services, programmes, and initiatives and align all our Executive departmental plans and strategies into one single view.  You will work closely with senior internal and external stakeholders to develop the organisations one year and three year corporate strategy - aligning stakeholder activity to the vision and corporate strategy, and vice versa.

You will be a creative strategist, with significant experience in analysing complex numerical data sets and different strategic choices as well as having the exceptional interpersonal skills necessary to develop effective relationships with our diverse stakeholder base, adding constructive challenge where necessary, to ensure a joined up approach. You will also be able to demonstrate an in-depth subject matter expertise gained within challenging environments around the areas where we give advice such as pensions and/or debt, or able to apply your experience from other sectors.
